I am running Apache, Tomcat, MySQL, PHP, Eclipse, and VMware all without any problems. Wireless networking works great with NetworkManger installed. If you ever need to use dial-up at full speed you will have to spend $14 or so for the Linuxant modem driver. This is the third Thinkpad that I have owned and I must say that I continue to be amazed at how tough and reliable the are. All in all a T42 should be a good choice for Linux. If you get a T42 don't hesitate to ask for help setting it up. Charlie
